The company’s automatic fire suppression systems are suited for CNC machines that use oil-based lubricants, which can overheat, ignite and cause a flash fire. Featuring a flexible polymer tubing that ruptures when exposed to a flame, these automatic systems detect and suppress a fire by flooding the machining area with a suppression agent and turning the power off. The machine can be returned to service within an hour.
